Our hearts go out to our son-in-law Daniel, and to Penny and Dayna. We were heartbroken when we heard of Dan's passing. Though we only met a few times, we hit it off right away. We were so pleased to be brought together through Dan and Amanda's marriage. We had heard so many wonderful stories of what a great dad, husband and grandpa Dan was. And that Dan and Penny's relationship was a love story that is so rare and true. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Dan's family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
Praying for and thinking of this family during such a difficult time, he was such a great guy and thought of so highly by my husband. Rest in peace, Dan.
